Broward deputy accused of lying on report won't be charged

One of the Broward Sheriff's deputies accused of lying about the location of an alleged drug dealer's arrest in April 2014 will not face criminal charges, the Broward State Attorney's Office confirmed Tuesday.

Greg Edlund, who signed a tow slip indicating suspect Brian Giunto was arrested in northern Deerfield Beach when the arrest actually took place in southern Boca Raton, still faces a possible Internal Affairs investigation, according to the Police Benevolent Association, which represented Edlund while the Broward State Attorney's Office reviewed the case.

Prosecutors decided Edlund's signature on the tow slip did not constitute the filing of a false report, which would have been a crime.

Another deputy, Gary Admunson, has been charged with perjury and falsifying records in connection with the same incident. His case is pending.
